  • Deception (30%)
    The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author uses a comparison between AI and the steam engine to exaggerate the potential impact of AI on society. While it's true that new technologies can have transformative effects, comparing them directly to something as significant as the Industrial Revolution oversells their importance.

    • The CEO devoted a chunk of his annual shareholder letter to the importance of AI for JPMorgan Chase's business and society at large.
  • Fallacies (85%)
    The article contains several fallacies. Firstly, the author uses a false analogy by comparing AI to the steam engine without providing any evidence or reasoning for this comparison. Secondly, there is an appeal to authority when Dimon says that his bank has identified more than 400 use cases for AI across marketing, fraud and risk without providing any information on how these were determined or what their effectiveness was. Thirdly, the author uses inflammatory rhetoric by saying that generative AI could augment virtually every job which is not necessarily true as some jobs may be replaced entirely by automation.

            • Jamie Dimon has previously spoken out about his fears regarding high levels of US debt and fiscal stimulus as well as the effects of quantitative tightening. The impacts of these geopolitical and economic forces are large and somewhat unprecedented. They may not be fully understood until they have completely played out over multiple years.
            • Jamie Dimon has warned investors once again that the US may be entering one of the most treacherous geopolitical eras since World War II. While key economic indicators appear to be strong and inflation rates are easing, he sees many potential risks such as ongoing fiscal spending, remilitarization of the world, restructuring of global trade and capital needs for new green economy.
            • Markets are currently pricing in a 70% to 80% chance of a soft landing where inflation is tamped down without triggering an economic downturn. However Jamie Dimon wrote those odds are far too optimistic. Traders, he said, should be thinking about what might happen a year or two from now.

                            The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author uses a comparison with historical inventions to make AI seem more transformative than it actually is. While AI has certainly had an impact on various industries and will likely continue to do so, comparing it to the printing press or steam engine oversimplifies its significance and ignores other factors that have contributed to societal change. Secondly, the author uses vague language when discussing JPMorgan's use of AI in areas such as marketing and fraud detection. While these are legitimate applications of AI, there is no specific information provided on how the bank is using this technology or what benefits it has seen from doing so. Finally, the article mentions that JPMorgan has established itself as a leader in AI but does not provide any concrete evidence to support this claim.

Additionally, the author makes a false dilemma when he states that it's too early to know how big and fast these changes will come, implying that there are only two possibilities: either they will be big and fast or not at all. The author also uses an example of inflammatory rhetoric by stating that AI has the potential to augment virtually every job, which could be interpreted as a threat to workers.
